Life and the Craziness

Hello All,

I apologize for not writing here in a long time. I love to write, but life has been busy and you know…

My activity on Twitter is busy, so please keep up with me that way @sammm1777

So, we are in a new Church called Grace Bible Church(GBC). LOVE IT!! They do something there that’s Amazing! It’s called “Reading the Bible and Studying it.” What a concept, eh? Slight humor here as it is so refreshing to study God’s Word in Church and not focus on what the Church is doing today which is ‘Topical’ study with a verse of scripture thrown in here and there to justify the Topic. I have been enthralled with learning and being a ‘sponge’ at GBC and enjoy the preaching as well by Pastor David Dunn. We are currently studying the Book of James. We are 6+ months into the study and we are just now getting into the 2nd Chapter of the book. Tons of scripture are being read every Sunday and they are cross referenced to Old Testament as well. Heather is enjoying it as too and learning way more than she ever has. I recently bought her a new Bible and I think she is getting more into it now that she has another Bible that she can use. I pray that continues. I know that I am growing by leaps and bounds and my Faith and knowledge is growing as well. Grateful!

Personal note, we are having our 2nd Child and we’re expecting in July. 25th is the date, but Sophie came early and we expect this one to come early as well. We are not finding out the sex of the baby and have come up with a boy and a girl’s name. So when the Lord brings this baby into the world, we will name him/her then. Praise God for this blessing and we are very excited!!

Heather lost her job from Baker Hughes recently with the downturn in Oil prices. 8 years with the company, recruiting her out of college and all and they let her go. Unbelievable. God is good-All the time and we have always tried to live within our means and because of this, we are able to handle this impact to our family. We look forward to the next job she gets with another company and know that God always has something better in store for us.

It has been a up and down year so far and I do pray that it will get better for all of us.
